This must rate as the most arcane post here, BUT, has anyone noticed that time seems to be going by a tad more quickly than it used to?? I mean, was it not about 2 years ago we worried about 2YK?? Anyone with children surely will have noticed that they are incredibly older now; mine are.

MEF, the world IS turning faster these days. I'm convinced it's not an illusion and that scientists will point this out sometime soon.

Hi MEF,

I wonder if what you're experiencing isn't just a seasonal illusion?

Everyone knows that as we head towards winter, the days become shorter and shorter. Yesterday, Dec.21, was the shortest day of the year. I wonder if what you are feeling is this: There just seems to be less and less time in every day?

As the days begin to get longer again, perhaps you will begin to feel differently as there will be more and more time in the day to do stuff?

Additionally, with the onset of ‘Daylight Savings’ every spring, we get an extra hour in everyday. This will certainly help to further the feeling that we all have much more time on our hands.

I wonder if by June or July you might begin to feel a little differently about things.

Sometimes on my way to work it feels like a scene from the movie The Time Machine (Rod Taylor version) One day I notice that there are buds forming on the trees and a few days later I notice that the leaves are turning yellow and red.
